Sleep Like a Baby: Why Rest Is the Ultimate Self-Care Tool

Sleep is often the most neglected part of self-care, but it’s one of the most essential. Without enough rest, it’s harder to deal with stress, stay focused, or even just function like a normal human being.

Step 1: Create a Sleep Sanctuary

Your bedroom should be your sanctuary. Ditch the clutter, dim the lights, and invest in a comfy mattress and pillows. Make it a no-stress zone!

• Tip: Try adding sound healing to your sleep routine. White noise machines or relaxing soundtracks with healing vibrations (like Tibetan singing bowls) help your body and mind unwind.

Step 2: Stick to a Routine

Your body loves routine. Going to bed and waking up at the same time each day helps regulate your circadian rhythm, leading to better sleep.

• Tip: Use essential oils like lavender or chamomile in your bedtime routine. They’re natural sleep aids, and a little spritz of essential oils on your pillow can help you relax.

Step 3: Be Mindful of Your Evening Habits

Avoid caffeine, heavy meals, and stimulating activities (yes, TikTok, I’m looking at you!) an hour before bed. Instead, wind down with some light reading or a calming meditation.

• Tip: Try a vibration therapy session before bed—tuning forks or gentle sound baths can harmonize your energy and ease you into a deep sleep.
